Interlude Two: Debra Pascali-Bonaro

This is our second interlude where we invite a guest who was in our film, to come and join us to discuss where life has taken them since the film.

In this episode Jerusha Sutton, Zoe Naylor and Jo Hunter chat with the powerhouse that is Debra Pascali-Bonaro.

Debra is a globally renowned speaker, filmmaker, author, doula trainer and host of the Orgasmic Birth podcast, where she breaks barriers and explores love, intimacy, and pleasure in birth and parenting. 

Debra is a mother, grandmother, and sought-after expert featured in parenting publications, documentaries, and media outlets worldwide.

Amongst many other things Debra directed the award-winning documentary Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret and co-authored the book Orgasmic Birth: Your guide to a Safe, Satisfying and Pleasurable Birth. She also leads the transformative Eat Pray Doula Retreats in Bali each year with Midwife Robin Lim.

We had such an inspiring catch up with Debra and we could’ve listened to her talk for hours. She shares with us her personal journey to birth work and advocacy and her experiences creating Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret documentary.

Debra offers invaluable insights into ways we can shift the mainstream narrative around birth and change traditional views by offering the concept that birth can be a pleasurable experience.

We also chat about her important work around the International Childbirth Initiative, her DONA International birth and postpartum doula training work, along with how she and Robin Lim together inspire doulas, midwives and birth professionals worldwide to support and embrace the power of birth through their Eat Pray Doula Retreats in Bali.

Debra has been supporting birthing women and people for over 40 years and her deep commitment to improving maternal health and education shines through with warmth and love in this episode. Enjoy.
